J., and we consider it a privilege to be able to offer it to the trade. It depicts the annual outdoor exercises of the school children of Newark, which are among the largest held in the country. There are about four thousand children engaged in a series of most pleasing dances and exercises, and all these have been artistically reproduced by our camera operator. We were given the best possible position to see the various exercises so that the results as shown on the screen are really better than the average spectator could possibly have enjoyed. The exercises represent a great variety of dances, drills and marches, including several very charming May-pole dances. A large quantity of film was taken, but only enough selected for the picture to make it interesting and to prevent it from becoming in the least degree tiresome. We are sure the trade and public generally will recognize in this film not only a subject of great interest, as showing the healthy development of school children, but also a most attractive picture in itself because of the fidelity with which the camera has reproduced this scene of youthful grace and animation.
